gif or flv to web site

[mal]

I have a little problem I am using dreamweaver cs3 am trying to insert a gif animation i put the gif into folder photos and add to the index page check it out in the browser no problems so I upload to the site but it won't show at all it is only 256 k so not big.
I also tried an flv using the flash insert menu same result

Searched heaps they all say i did it right but prob missing a step

what happened there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! line 82

[Philquad]

to be honest mal
it would be so much easier to throw this into wordpress before you get a headach
like
is just the default wp theme at the moment
then you just add pages, content as easy as using word

looks like the 1st part of your link is wrong

[mal]

reckon you could be right but I would like to know why
It took some time to learn dreamweaver basics html css
I will try for a little longer
Thanks phil

After pulling my hair out but learning a lot along the way I found the problem
Not sure what the tech terms are but I was try to put in an expanding cell I asume normal photos are ok but animations are expanding contracting?

One thing though there were 3 folder on the server but not local Itried to create these folders but it said they existed using filezilla i could see the so deleted them and created them all ok now never seen that before

Thanks for your help Phil

have you got normal hosting?
normally theres a public_html folder
all lives in that
get a ftp program, filezilla sucks
but serious mal, ill give you free hosting if you swap to wordpress
the days of dw & html are gone
what you have spent weeks doing, can be done in wp in 30 mins
